D1 tailors: report of my findings

I've been looking into cheap and cheerful hcm tailors and noted there isn't a lot of prices/hard info posted, so I spent today looking into it and just want to post my findings. Keywords: shirt, tailor, hcm, saigon, prices

One thing, Chanh at 167 is recommended online but I went there today and it's closed down.

What follows is a list of prices I was quoted today in the heart of the tourist district. I asked the price of a full length shirt, then I asked about pants. I also asked the tailoring only price. I didn't haggle, just noted what was quoted.
